just got in Saturday. Beautiful watch. Tried it on some other straps also. Too small for me but beautiful. I need to find a larger diameter Breguet. I love the brand and watches just my wrist doesn't like them so far. Anyone have any suggestions?

Very nice sir! Maybe something like this obviously in black or distressed grey blackish.

Nice rallye style strap would look great!

Or very plain leather with minimal stitching.

Beautiful watch indeed! And personally, on the bracelet, I think it looks well balanced on your wrist.

I may have to let it grow on me. I have tried it on two black straps so far but may try it on one of my brown croc gen straps and see. I like the distressed idea but not sure it'd fit my style. I only have one watch with leather that nots dark color and it's my Pam111. Some reason that one just works. Maybe I'll give it a go.

Anyone know how to make the deployment hole larger for the snap? Or has anyone tried it olive oil or something helps? I like it on the bracelet but with the leather the watch sits too tall for its width on my wrist.

Do you have a leather punch? They are cheap in amazon. Or I have one if you are in my area sometime this week.

Don't need leather punch. It's the metal bracelet. The deployment is the issue.

Hello, Did you buy this watch from a TD or M2M ? I tried to buy one last year without success.

It was from a TD. It was a special
Order thing. I don't think they're actually really in stock. I just sold this this weekend on m2m

i had it in the past because i wanted to give it a try. nice watch and the only breguet, it seems with (finally) a closed back.

good quality overall, but not fallen in love then, i so love much more classic ones, that pity have not a good back.

i tried the leather strap model, changing in one black leather made in italy (look on ebay you can find as many you want) and the result was really nice.
